Wheat Deal Reveals Imperial Aid to Australian Crop
In Parliament on Wednesday Prime Minister Hughes outlined Imperial measures to support the Australian wheat crop. The price to farmers would be 4s 6d per bushel fob for both old and new wheat, with shipping provided to remove up to about 3,000,000 tons in the first half of 1917. A new advance to farmers of 23rd per bushel net was promised, while details on transport costs and slave allocations were still unsettled. The Australian Wheat Board stressed sustaining the milling industry and hinted at a potential 1918 crop announcement.
